Auckland Philharmonia musicians play for FREE!
During November, leading musicians from the Auckland Philharmonia perform a diverse mix of classical and contemporary
chamber music at the Auckland Central Library and the Franklin Arts and Cultural Centre – and the concerts are free!
This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy orchestral music without dipping into your pocket, and is a refreshing way to
spend your lunchtime.
